Chelsea owner Abramovich spotted in London for first time in three years

There has been a rare sighting of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in London.

The Russian has not been spotted in the English capital since problems arose over his entrepreneurial visa in 2018.

A spokesperson has confirmed the 54-year-old is in town to visit relatives, according to The Independent.

They also confirmed Abrahmovich has travelled to London as an Israeli citizen, therefore entering the UK without needing a visa.

It is unclear whether Abramovich will attend next Saturday's match between Chelsea and Brentford.
